The matrix has 9 rows, is 54 columns wide and contains 486 characters.

The Ten Commandments appear twice in the Torah. The first time they command to remember the Shabbat. The second
time they command to keep / observe the Shabbat.

** Exodus 20/8: øåëæ- Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
INTRODUCTION
Typically, I work only on one matrix and illustrate many clusters within that matrix. Due to lack of time, I do not look
elsewhere. This is not to say that one cannot find more information in other parts of the Chumash. Part 2 on the
Columbia mission, is an illustration of such two matrices. There are other matrices in the Chumash that deal with this
subject too.

The common denominator of the two matrices is that:

1. Each is at their minimal skip in their particular spelling (the first with no vavs, the second is spelled with two vavs as
found in the newspapers).

2. They emphasize in detail the importance of Shabbat.

They both contain the term à ëì úáù (Shabbat for you I (Ilan) or Shabbat for you first!). In Part 1, the term is at a skip
of 23. This is the second lowest skip of such a term in the Chumash. The term at its lowest skip appears in this Part 2
at a skip of -1! There is another such term (at -1) near but not in the matrix.

3. The term äîéùî a mission is very prominent in both matrices. In Part 1, it appears twice. In of the two cases it also
contains the Heh in front of the term that intersect the term Columbia. The respective skips are at -2 and 3.
Remarkably, the term äîéùî at a lower skip appears only twice at a skip of 1 in the same regard. We find it in Genesis
18:24 and similarly in 18:28: Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city; wilt Thou indeed sweep away and not
forgive the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? The term äîéùî is part of two words: “Fifty-Righteous”. Was
this a mission of the righteous to stage a show, to teach? In Part 2 the terms äîéùî, ììçá, úáùå, & äéáîåìå÷
combine to increase the statistical significance of each. In particular, the term mission and Shabbat share the letter
shin. The message is: A mission in space and Shabbat (on the) Columbia.

4. In both cases, it is suggested that it is the hand of G-d that caused the tragedy. In the first case, it is îéäìà òáöà
the finger of G-d. In Part 2 there are several such suggestions: îá äúéä äåäé ãé îâå and also the hands of G-d
was on (in) them, is one of several such indications.

COLUMBIA TO A TRAGEDY
Here Columbia is spelled the way they spell it in the newspapers. The ELS skip is at 4,545, while the next skip is at
11,749. The term “tragedy” is also at its minimal skip and most statistical significance at -1. There is only one such case
of “tragedy” at skip = -1. It is in Deuteronomy 19:5: as when a man goeth into the forest with his neighbour to hew
wood, and his hand fetcheth a stroke with the axe to cut down the tree, and the head slippeth from the helve, and
lighteth upon his neighbour, that he die; he shall flee unto one of these cities and live. The theme is similar:
Mechanical circumstances cause a person a great personal tragedy. When the tragedy term is extended, we get the
term to the tragedy or indicating that the Columbia is heading for a tragedy. It can also be read as I(lan) is headed to
tragedy.

A MISSION IN SPACE AND SHABBAT - YOU HAVE SHABBAT - ILAN KEEP THE SHABBAT
The heading of the matrix above is a mission in space and Shabbat. The Shabbat implications in the matrix are striking.
In Part 1, the surface text was all about Shabbat. Even the Kiddush for Shabbat was found there. What can possibly
compete with the message of the Kiddush? Perhaps the Ten Commandments can compete. We are taught that on
Mount Sinai, the children of Israel heard simultaneously øåîù & øåëæ – Observe & Remember. The two terms are
very prominent in the matrix.

First, however, Ilan Ramon is told the same message in several ways. He is told: à ëì úáù Shabbat for you I (Ilan) or
Shabbat for you first! It is at the minimal skip for this term. If it is not enough, then the shin of the Shabbat for this term
is also the shin for the Shabbat for almost identical term going the other way: ø ëì åúáù HIS Shabbat for you R.
(Ramon). If that is still not enough, then look at the letter bet of the last term. The bet of “Shabbato” is the same bet of
“Columbia”. That is very statistically significant. However, there are more connections to “Shabatto”.

In a third way G-d is instructing Ilan Ramon: øåîù à I(lan) or First, keep (the Shabbat! And Ilan’s answer is:
ä øåîùà I shall keep (the Shabbat), Hashem. ä øåîùà åà Oh, I will keep (the Shabbat), Hashem. IE will I ever keep.
As we know, there was a marked shift in Ilan’s actions to honor the Shabbat. Now, G-d’s reply to Ilan’s reply… Ilan, you
remembered! à úøëæð. Note that the Taf of NIZCARTA shares the Taf of Shabbato. Note the heavy concentration
of Shabbat terms and sharing letters and intersections and overlap on one line! . øåîù & øåëæ, ëì úáù. You have a
Shabbat remember and keep.

It is very appropriate that “you remembered” is applied here in the past tens. The implication is that Ilan did not always
remember the Shabbat. He just now remembered… On the other hand, he promises something that may have been
beyond his means to comply: I will keep it on the stage of Columbia.
Ilan remembered and he brought the cup of wine among other things to perform the Kiddush. ììô ðééäå and the wine
to pray for was brought along. On the other hand, to what extent did circumstances allow Ilan Ramon to achieve his
personal goals?

IT IS G-D’S HAND – CONSUMING FIRE

I believe that there are several indications that Ilan Ramon was a tzadik. He was not an observant Jew, but he made
huge strides for Judaism. Someone who returns stands higher than someone that was always there. However, G-d
expects from the righteous much more than from an ordinary Jew. We may not know His calculations, but we recognize
his hand. We do not know why he decided to end the mission(s), but there is not doubt as to how it ended.
àð÷ì à àåä äìëà ùà ëéäìà thy God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
îá äúéä äåäé ãé îâå and also the hands of G-d was on (in) them

THE FIRE - See the Full spelling expanded matrix below. Now the distance between lines is 1,515 letters instead of
4,545 letters.

The expanded matrix gives more details on the fire-tragedy. First it adds another term to indicate that it is G-d’s finger -
îéäìà òáöà; it is his hand îá äúéä äåäé ãé îâå; and that, he is a consuming fire äìëà ùà ëéäìà; the final term
here is, it is G-d who did it to the Columbia ëá éé äéáîåìå÷ .

It goes on to describe the terrible moments for Rona:

ùàä ìà äúà øåð äúà :äðåø RONA: YOU ARE FIRE, YOU ARE [TO THE FIRE] THE GOD OF FIRE
éòáùá ëéðéò åàø øùà äìàä úàøåðä :äðåø
RONA: THOSE TERRIBLE THINGS THAT YOUR (single feminine) EYES SAW ON THE SEVENTH (day).

It concludes with describing the final monuments:

îéîùä ðî øôòå ÷áà dust and ashes [in Biblical terminology] from heaven.
ìë éðéòì - ìàøùé ìë éðéòì in the eyes of all / of all Israel

What were the “natural” causes of the fire? The table below lists the bricks/tile; the great heat trouble; the blind error,
the heat was raised etc. The matrix does not give details (as developed so far) on the mechanics or sequence of events
or the exact role of each element that it outlines.

RAMON AND HIS RAIN MISSION

As noted before, the word mission is very prominent in the Columbia story. I believe that there is the Shabbat mission,
the Columbia mission in general, and Ilan Ramon’s specific mission. The word mission appeared three times. One of
Ramon’s missions was to explore dust storms, and help understand the rain process. Both of Ilan’s personal missions
are in the matrix below. First, it must be noted that both Rona (the wife) and Ilan Ramon are prominent in this matrix.
Rona’s name is there clearly, and it is prominent. Ilan’s name is there, but as per my restrictions on accepting terms
with less than R-value = 1.3, I choose not to use his name in this matrix. (His name appears twice and is slightly
significant. See why 1.3 minimum? at the background article at: A Scientific Proof for the Validity of the Bible
Codes 2/12/2003). Why do I say then that it is Ilan Ramon? I base it on his year of birth. It is Ramon from ãéùúäî
1954. However, 1954 is not statistically significant either! Well, maybe from an R-value vantage, perhaps it is not that
significant. On the other hand, there is something very special in the visual geometry of from 1954. It stands out in
exact parallel and skip to the main term. In addition, Ramon intersects from 1954.

53.6

The ELS reference is 1,515 characters between rows. 2.2

The matrix starts at Numbers Ch 35 V 28 Ltr 47 and ends at the end of Deuteronomy. (Genesis Ch 1 V 2 Ltr 10).
The matrix spans 56105 characters of the surface text.
The matrix has 38 rows, is 50 columns wide and contains 1900 characters.

The discussion of the Shabbat mission will conclude in the next section. Ilan Ramon’s rain mission terms in the matrix
are as follows:

îéîùä ðî øôòå ÷áà - dust and dust [common Hebrew] from the sky / heaven
There are two meanings to this phrase: 1- Ilan Ramon was to observe from high above the dust below, and see its
influence on rain. 2- It is the dust in the sky that was studied by Ilan Ramon, to understand its influence on rain.

ëöøà øèî úà äåäé ðúé - Hashem will give rain on your land
This was the objective of Ilan. Ilan in Hebrew means a tree. Ilan was in orbit during the Jewish holiday of the trees and
it was his wish that many trees will be planted in Israel. All Israelis are very conscious about the supply of water. Ilan’s
mission was to be a messenger of G-d to provide water “from above”.

BE STRONG! THERE IS TORAH, YOU WILL BE KOSHER!

The Shabbat mission was already seen in the compressed matrix. More terms are now added. For Judaism to observe
and remember the Shabbat properly one needs much more than wine for Kiddush. One needs to read the Torah. Well
there was äøåú ùé. There is a Torah (on board Columbia - Ilan brought it). One needs meat – kosher meat. The
surface text is referring to “and you shall eat meat”. More important the term øùë ëðúé will give you Kosher refers to
kosher food. We know that Ilan brought kosher food that he also shared with his friends. What I see, however, in this
term is that Ilan is blessed that he Ilan is kosher. Ilan is being painted as a good Jew. He is not just a good Jew. He is
a good Jew in the eyes of all – of all of Israel - ìàøùé ìë éðéòì. Finally, to prove that he is a good Jew, the term
addresses Ilan as another conquer (Joshua) was addressed in his mission: Be strong and brave. öîàå ÷æç ìàøùé ìë
éðéòì In the eyes of all Israel, be strong and brave. Ilan may not have had a chance to rest on his final Shabbat as
required. He would have wanted to. May he rest in peace with the righteous!
NOTES:
1. Be strong and brave. öîàå ÷æç ìàøùé ìë éðéòì In the eyes of all Israel, be strong and brave. This term is
applicable to both Ilan and Rona Ramon. Rona is very prominent in the matrix, and so is her pain in losing her best
friend.

2. The term ìàøùé ìë éðéòì In the eyes of all Israel, appears twice in the matrix. Ilan Ramon was in the eyes of all
Israel twice. The first time he was a member of the team that destroyed the Iraqi atomic installation. The second time
he was a member of the Columbia team, as the first Israeli in space.

3. At the very end of the Torah, the last few words are: "In the eyes of Israel". At the very end of his life, he was in the
eyes (and hearts) of all Israel. Those in Heaven do not need to be strong and brave. From all that we know about
Ramon, the last thing that he wanted was to desecrate the Shabbat. He had no control. On the other hand, those who
fear G-d go from heaven to Heaven.
